Non GL vs GL

Yeah that's me. If you're right I won't deny it. How am I to blame? I was being paired with GL opponents when I didn't have DR, Malak, Watt, GAS, etc. That's insane. It stands to reason that GL rosters should not be paired with non GL rosters. I get that my GP is inflated, but they can change the algorithm. I shouldn't be punished for moving the ball forward on characters I want to use.

You're making it sound like having loads of r7 toons is a bad thing. I worked hard for those. And besides, whether r5 or r8, GLs swat them all away like they are nothing.

Having loads of r5+ is a bad thing if the result of that is you getting smashed in GAC all the time. And you’re to blame because you’ve chosen to take STH to r7, Boba Fett to r5 for example. They are contributing nothing of note to your roster for other game modes and are not an effective use of resources when it comes to GAC.

Developing a roster for certain game modes is not a new thing. Before SLKR, if people wanted to excel in HSTR they needed certain teams (resistance, JKR led Jedi and Shaak Clones, for example). If people developed a roster that didn’t have those teams, was it reasonable for them to complain that they could never bag top rewards in a raid that pretty much required them? Same goes for TB. Back in the Hoth days, we needed to develop our IT, BH, Rogue 1 and Phoenix to get the best possible rewards. Again, if people chose not to develop those teams, could they complain that they weren’t performing at the top level? GAC is another game mode that “requires” a particular focus on roster development. Plow your own furrow at your peril.

But let’s take your request for the algorithm to stop matching GL owners with non GL owners to its logical conclusion. Who would it be fair for you to be matched with? I don’t have any way of checking this, but I’d imagine people with 40 r5+ toons and no GL are pretty thin on the ground and their number will only decrease as time progresses. What happens if you take another 20 toons to r5 or higher and still don’t unlock a GL? Should you continue to be matched with non GL owners? Even if their roster is completely over powered by yours?

It wouldn't be reasonable to complain about not getting top hoth rewards because the way to get there is clear and intuitively obvious. It's just a progression. GAC is different. It is not fair from a competitive standpoint. I've been saying it all along. I can't win. How is that fair?

Rosters without GL should be paired with similar GP. It's simple. I could have every character reliced, but if the opponent has one GL, I lose.

If I choose to relic subpar characters then I accept that the match would be an uphill battle against an opponent who has only reliced vader, grievous, jkl, etc, but the power discrepancy isn't so bad in that case. I could reasonably make up for it by being creative and micromanaging. GLs are on a completely different level.

There are plenty of people who already agree with me. I don't need any of you to validate my argument, nor can anybody tell me I am wrong.
